Job 15:5

For thy mouth uttereth - In attempting to justify thyself, thou hast added iniquity to sin, and hast endeavored to impute blame to thy Maker.

The tongue of the crafty - Thou hast varnished thy own conduct, and used sophistical arguments to defend thyself. Thou resemblest those cunning persons, ערומים arumim , who derive their skill and dexterity from the old serpent, "the nachash, who was ערום arum , subtle, or crafty, beyond all the beasts of the field;" Genesis 3:1 . Thy wisdom is not from above, but from beneath.
